A first-glance look at the next Notre Dame opponent, the 4-4 Clemson Tigers
Notre Dame will look to build on its current two-game winning streak this weekend when it heads south to take on the struggling Clemson Tigers . Despite its two-game losing streak and overall struggles, Clemson is going to be a tough challenge for the Irish.Swinney began his career at Clemson back in 2003 when he was hired by then head coach Tommy Bowden as the team's wide receivers coach.
Clemson had a solid first season under Swinney, going 9-5 and beating Kentucky in the Music City bowl. The Tigers took a step back in 2010, going just 6-7, but things started to turn around in 2011. Clemson won its first eight games and climbed all the way up to No. 6 in the polls before losing four of the last six, including a 70-33 loss to West Virginia in the Orange Bowl.
Swinney made changes within the program, including hiring a new defensive coordinator, and that began Clemson rising to the top of the college football world. Clemson went 11-2 the next season and finished the campaign with a 25-24 win over LSU in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. The next season the Tigers again went 11-2, this time beating Ohio State in the Orange Bowl to end the season.
Injuries stunted that growth a bit, with Clemson going just 10-3 the next season , but the Tigers finally got a win over Steve Spurrier and South Carolina , and the finished the season with a 40-6 bowl win over Oklahoma. Over the next six seasons, Swinney led Clemson to a 79-7 record that included a pair of National Championships , two more trips to the national title game , and two other trips to the College Football Playoff . Clemson won eight ACC championships under Swinney, who led Clemson to 10+ victories in 12 straight seasons.Antonio WilliamsBecome a premium Irish Breakdown member, which grants you access to all of our premium content and our premium message board!
